JNTC Independently Develops Advanced Cover Glass Technology... "Leading the Global Market"

JNTC, a leading company in 3D cover glass (CEO Jang Yong-seong, Kim Yoon-taek), announced on the 7th that it has independently succeeded in developing a breakthrough AF (anti-fingerprint) coating precursor technology.

The AF coating developed this time is a technology that specially treats the surface of substrates such as glass to prevent the adhesion of contaminants like fingerprints and allows easy removal even if contaminants adhere. It is also characterized by forming a nano-laminate structured thin film over all areas, including curved sections of the display, achieving overwhelming durability and revolutionary performance.

A JNTC official stated, “For glass applied to displays of advanced IT devices including mobile phones, films are sometimes separately attached for fingerprint prevention, but the AF coating technology developed by our company has overwhelmingly superior performance compared to existing technologies.” He explained, “It is a breakthrough coating technology that satisfies existing optical properties, has hardness performance based on scratch and abrasion resistance, reduces the roughness of the thin film surface, and improves the durability of the water-repellent film coating.”

In particular, the abrasion resistance was improved more than 20 times compared to the abrasion resistance product test standards of global customers. In fact, while the AF coating effect of existing products lasted only a few months, applying this new technology dramatically improves durability to over 5 to 6 years.

Accordingly, it is expected that the technology will be increasingly adopted not only for mobile devices but also for cover glass in other product groups, driving sales growth due to an increase in new customers.

Regarding this, Kim Yoon-taek, CEO leading JNTC’s research and development, said, “We are pleased to establish our status as a global leader in cover glass and to advance breakthrough technology through the development of this AF coating precursor technology. We will focus on expanding our portfolio to contribute to profitability improvement by diversifying the company’s product portfolio and supplying high value-added products.” He added, “Starting with achieving profitability turnaround last year, we will do our best to accelerate growth this year through diversification of customers and products.”

Meanwhile, since its establishment, JNTC has attracted attention as a world-class cover glass leader through continuous technological development, including the world’s first 3D cover glass development in 2014, keyless cover glass for smartphones in 2018, and integrated 3D cover glass for vehicles in 2020.
